"whoever or whatever it is, they're following us. they left this for me while I was shopping." Eddie said. he handed the note to Roger for him to read.
"Eddie I don't like this one bit." Roger said shaking. Eddie nodded.
"me either." Eddie muttered. they sat down to watch tv while they thought about the case. after a few episodes of the X files, Eddie felt something on his arm and realized Roger had fallen asleep again. Eddie let him sleep there alittle while before moving the rabbit to his bed. he heard Roger say 'love you' again and he shook his head, before laying Roger down. he stopped when Roger sleeply grabed his hand.
"mean it." Roger mumbled. "love you." Roger whispered tiredly. Eddie shook his head.
"i'm sure you do." Eddie muttered. "now sleep." Eddie added. he was answered with a snore. he went to his own bed. "damn it Valiant, you have to stop this your loosing your mind." Eddie mumbled to himself before trying to get some sleep.
*next morning*
Roger hoped Eddie had believed him but he also hoped he forgot what he'd said.
"morning Eddie." Roger said walking out of his part of the office. he yawned and childishly rubbed at his eyes.
"I wondered if you were ever going to wake up." Eddie replied not looking up from his desk.
"why do you say that?" Roger ask confused.
"it's two in the after noon." Eddie replied.
"what?! Eddie i'm late for work!" Roger exclaimed.
"I called and talked to some people explained what was going on and they said your on leave ,or whatever, untill we solve this stupid thing." Eddie said finally looking up.
"really?" Roger ask. Eddie nodded and Roger smiled. "great!" Roger exclaimed. he liked hanging out with Eddie.
"yeah a better way for me to keep an eye on you so whoever this is doesn't get you." Eddie agreed.
"so any new notes?" Roger ask.
"not that i've found. Diana wants us to meet her in town." Eddie replied. Roger nodded.
"then lets go." Roger said.
*bar*
"hey I see you two made it." Diana said.
"yeah." Eddie sighed. Diana looked confused.
"you ok?" Diana ask. Eddie nodded.
"yeah, there's just a lot of old memories in this bar." Eddie replied. Diana nodded she heard that a lot since taking over her sisters bar.
"so why did you want to see us?" Roger ask.
"this was left on my door last night. addressed to both of you." Diana said. she handed Eddie the letter.
"hand over the rabbit ,Valiant, and no one gets hurt. TTP." Eddie read aloud with a sigh.
"what is this all about?" Diana ask.
"someone is after Roger." Eddie replied.
"they sign it everytime with TTP." Roger added.
"TTP? what does that mean?" Diana ask.
"we don't know." Eddie said.
"i think it means The Toon Patrol." Roger said.
"interesting." Diana said. "i'll look into it. Doloris left me a bunch of her stuff maybe she's got something in there that can help." Diana said. Eddie nodded.
"thanks." Eddie said.
"hey isn't Toon Patrol dead and gone? destroyed with-" Diana started but stopped when Eddie put a hand over her mouth. the whole bar had gone quiet.
"don't." Eddie said. Diana pushed his hand away.
"I was going to say laughter." Diana huffed. the bar customers relaxed and slowly begain talking again.
"yeah. Eddie killed'em with laughter!" Roger excliamed. Eddie nodded.
"all but one, but we don't talk about that." Eddie said. Diana looked confused.
"why?" Diana ask. Eddie shook his head.
"meet us at our office later and we'll explain." Eddie said. Diana nodded.
"alright." Diana said.
"scotch on the rocks please." Angelo said. Diana nodded and went to get his drink. "hey, Eddie." Angelo waived sitting beside Eddie and Roger.
"Angelo." Eddie nodded.
"hi-ya!" Roger waived.
"Roger." Angelo nodded. "what brings you two here?" Angelo ask. Eddie and he had gotten along a lot better after the thing with Doom.
"just here to talk to Diana." Eddie replied. Angelo nodded.
"ok." Angelo said. Eddie looked over at him.
"hey Angelo, you wouldn't happen to know any thing called TTP, would you?" Eddie ask. Angelo thought a moment but shook his head.
"no can't say I do why?" Angelo ask. Eddie handed him the note's he'd gotten.
"read these." Eddie said. Angelo read through them and handed them back to Eddie.
"huh, I'll check around if you want." Angelo offered.
"no i'd rather keep this hush hush." Eddie replied. Angelo nodded.
"understood." Angelo said.
"Roger we should get going. I need to pick up some stuff from a friend." Eddie said. Roger nodded and the two left.
*office*
Eddie picked up the items he needed and they went back to the office. Diana showed up after a few hours. Eddie and Roger begain to explain.
"and thats why nobody ever mentions dip anymore outside their own place." Eddie explained. Roger shivered at the word.
"ok that explaines a lot." Diana said. she checked her watch. "oh I have to go." Diana said. Eddie and Roger nodded and waived goodbye as she left.
"now what Eddie?" Roger ask.
"i'm going to check out these notes. there has to be something on them." Eddie replied.
"ok." Roger said. he sat quietly watching Eddie look over the notes.
"Roger stop staring and go watch tv." Eddie said after a few minutes. Roger blinked.
